Flight Plan is a pack small play big performance piece, where several audience volunteers go on an imaginary flight. Yet, without any questions, the performer knows not only where they started their imaginary trip, but where their final destination is.
It is based on the effect Pay Day, by Jack Vosburg. To make the booklet complete, for your convenience, there are two sets of cards included, one for stand-up/stage shows and the other for closeup. Just print out what you need.
EFFECT: The mentalist invites three volunteers to join him on stage. They are each given an envelope containing their "Flight Instructions". A set of "Departure" cards are mixed and each spectator randomly selects a card to determine their "Point Of Departure".
While the mentalist's back is turned, the spectators open their Flight Instruction envelopes and match their Point Of Departure with the Point Of Departure in their Flight Instructions. This tells them what flight to take. Then they pick up their Boarding Passes that are on a table.
Turning around, the mentalist proclaims the first spectator's departure and destination locations. The spectator displays their departure and destination cards from (their ticket envelope and they match. This is repeated with the second and the third spectator and each time the mentalist correctly names their point of departure and, also their departure.
